Tango and Luna, Week I
Luna, settling quite happily into her new digs, quickly commandered one of Tango's two sheepskin-lined beds. Prepared for battle, I went to bed each night with lights on and squirt bottles in easy reach. Amazingly, though, I didn't wake up to any cat fights.
Tango (a.k.a. Ol' Snake Eyes) has been admirably restrained. One evening, he had just gotten home after a hard day's work and was about to climb into his remaining bed, when Luna leaped into it and plopped down, pleased as punch with herself. While Tango sniffed in disbelief, I quickly shooed her out of harm's way.
Luna idolizes Tango like a big brother. Tango disdains her like a little sister, hissing when she gets too close, but otherwise doing his best to ignore her. Tonight, looking for all the world like a flying squirrel, she welcomed him home by leaping ON him. He just shrugged her off.
Luna is so happy to be out of that cage. She seems to become more kittenish each day, scampering about after toys and dust motes. She eats an astounding amount of food. She thanks me several times a day with face rubs, snuggles and outstretched paws. We are working on her furniture-clawing and counter-hopping issues.
I am lavishing extra attention and playtime on Tango, who, thankfully, has stopped growling at me when I pick him up. I give it another week or two before Tango and Luna are curled up together. (Maybe even less than that if I turn the heat waaaay down before bedtime.)
